Introduction

Wisdom is never fully attained in this life. We have now but a mere foretaste, a glimpse through a dark veil, a cloud of mist. We are travelers on a quest; we seek to attain this treasure of inestimable value, wisdom...

Prayer for Pope Francis

Father of providence, look with love on Francis, our Pope, Your appointed successor to Saint Peter, on whom You built Your Church. May he be the visible center and foundation of our unity in faith and love. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Ghost, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer of Saint Thomas Aquinas for Wisdom

Creator beyond human endurance, Who out of Thy wisdom'd treasures, didst establish three hierarchies of Angels, setting them in wonderful order to preside over the empyrean heaven, and Who hast most marvelously assorted the parts of the universe; Thou Who art called the fountain-head of life and of wisdom, and the one over-ruling principle; be pleased to shed the ray of Thy brightness over the gloom of my understanding, so as to dispel the ignorance in which I was born; Thou Who makest eloquent the tongues of babes, instruct my tongue, and shed the grace of Thy blessing upon my lips. Bestow on me keenness of wit to understand, the power of a retentive memory, method and ease of learning, subtlety for explaining, and a gift of ready speech. Teach me as I begin, direct me as I advance, complete my finished task for me, Thou Who art our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Prayer of Saint Thomas Aquinas for Virtue

Almighty God, Thou who knowest all things, Thou who art without beginning or end, Thou who dost bestow, preserve and reward the virtues; vouchsafe to confirm me in the firm foundation of faith, to protect me with the indestructible shield of hope, and to adorn me with the wedding garment of charity. Grant that in justice I may be subject to Thee, that with prudence I may shun the snares of the evil one, and with fortitude patiently endure adversity. Grant that I may freely share what I have with those who have not, and that what I myself have not I may humbly seek from those that have. Grant that the guilt I have committed, I may sincerely confess, and the punishment I endure, I may bear with equanimity. Grant that I may not envy my neighbor his goods, and that I may always thank Thee for Thy gifts. In rest and motion, may I be always reserved! May I preserve my tongue from vain-glorious words, guard my feet from transgressing, restrain my eyes from wandering glances, withdraw my ears from the noise of the world, incline my head humbly, lift up my mind to heavenly things, despise what is transient, long only after Thee. Subdue my flesh, purify my conscience, honor the saints, praise Thee worthily, increase in blessings, and end my good works by a holy death. Implant in me, O Lord, the virtues that I may be toward holy things devout, in earthly duties prudent, in my behavior troublesome to no one. Give me, O Lord, heartfelt repentance, sincere confession, and the grace to make perfect satisfaction. Amen.
